Luo Bai hadn't expected Murong Xue to be taken as a personal Disciple by a Shenxiao Sect Elder.
Even if she were the Disciple of the King of Heaven, Luo Bai would have no fear.
As long as he was given enough time, he would not be afraid of that mere Bilian Fairy.
"My good grandson, your strength has increased now, and you don't have many good things on you. Here's the key to the Family warehouse. You can pick whatever you like and take it."
Luo Tian gave Luo Bai the key to the Luo Family's warehouse, which was where the Luo Family stored its accumulated wealth.
Among the younger generation, and even the older generation, only Luo Bai received such treatment.
The current Luo Bai represented the Luo Family's younger generation and its future hope.
If Luo Bai could join the Shenxiao Sect, he would surely be able to lead the Family to its Peak in the future.
There was once a young member of a third-rate small Family who joined the Shenxiao Sect, and from then on, his Family's status also rose accordingly.
Many of the older generation placed their hopes on the younger generation, and even the City Lord's Mansion was no exception, let alone other Families.
"Good!" Luo Bai agreed. After bidding farewell to Luo Tian, he walked towards the Family treasury.
The Elder guarding the door smiled when he saw Luo Bai. He naturally knew that Luo Bai had killed the Grand Elder with one punch and that Luo Bai's future was limitless. Building a good relationship with Luo Bai would be beneficial without any harm.
He eagerly walked ahead to help Luo Bai open the treasury door.
As soon as Luo Bai entered the treasury, he smelled a faint fragrance.
The Luo Family's treasury was not very large, and the items inside were neatly arranged, with distinct sections.
There were areas for herbs, areas for weapons, and places for various miscellaneous items.
Luo Bai stood in the center of the Family treasury, closed his eyes, and felt with his heart. Suddenly, the Yin Yang Two Qi in his body became active.
It was as if something was attracting the Yin Yang Two Qi in his body, and the irregular fragment in his Dantian also emitted a faint halo, seemingly telling Luo Bai that there was something it needed here.
Luo Bai didn't know what the irregular fragment in his Dantian was, but it was definitely not an ordinary item.
Following the guidance of the Yin Yang Two Qi, Luo Bai quickly arrived in front of a dusty shelf, where he saw a pile of crystal-like objects. Upon careful sensing, he could feel a surge of energy within these crystal-like objects.
Luo Bai couldn't resist reaching out and picking one up, holding it in his palm, feeling as if he was holding a ball of energy.
With a thought, he circulated the Yin Yang Two Qi Gong. The energy within the crystal in his hand was being absorbed by him.
Streams of energy entered Luo Bai's body at a visible speed, which was much faster than Luo Bai's normal Cultivation.
In a blink of an eye, Luo Bai had devoured one crystal. He estimated that devouring the energy from one crystal was equivalent to three days of his Cultivation.
The energy within the crystals varied in size. The words "beast cores" surfaced in his memory. Every time a Yao Beast was hunted, it would have such beast cores.
Without thinking, Luo Bai placed his hand on the beast cores and circulated the Yin Yang Two Qi Gong. Streams of energy floated out of the beast cores on the shelf and visibly entered Luo Bai's body.
After devouring the power of these beast cores, Luo Bai felt his entire body filled with strength. He did not use this Spiritual Qi to Breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi Condensation, but instead used this power to impact the ninth meridian. Acupoints were opened one by one, stopping abruptly at the last three.
After breaking through three more Acupoints, Luo Bai would be able to break through the ninth meridian, and his strength would increase significantly then.
The further one went, the harder it became to impact the meridians.
From the tenth meridian onwards, it was extremely difficult to break through even one Acupoint, let alone an entire meridian.
Luo Bai looked at the dimmed beast cores on the shelf. He knew that to quickly increase his strength, he had to go to the Mystic Forest outside the city to hunt Yao Beasts.
He looked around the Family treasury and had to admit that the Luo Family was indeed poor. Apart from some old weapons and herbs, there was nothing special.
These things were of little use to Luo Bai.
Just as he turned to leave the Family treasury, he suddenly noticed a dusty square box on a shelf in the miscellaneous items corner.
Luo Bai, as if possessed, walked over and opened the box.
After opening the box, Luo Bai saw an ancient book lying quietly inside, with the words "Pure Yang Palm" written on it.
What Luo Bai lacked most was Cultivation Technique. How could he not be excited to see this Pure Yang Palm?
He opened the first page of the ancient book, which stated that only a Pure Yang Body could Cultivate it, and if one was not a Pure Yang Body, Cultivating this Cultivation Technique would result in an explosion of the body.
Upon seeing this line of text, Luo Bai's memory recalled that an Elder of the Family had suffered Qi Deviation while practicing a Cultivation Technique, resulting in his body exploding, seemingly caused by practicing the Pure Yang Palm.
Luo Bai himself possessed a Pure Yang Divine Body, so Cultivating the Pure Yang Palm should not be a problem.
This Cultivation Technique seemed to be tailor-made for Luo Bai. He received the Pure Yang Palm just as his Pure Yang Divine Body was activated, truly like someone delivering a pillow when one is sleepy.
After opening the Pure Yang Palm, Luo Bai looked at its contents. The Pure Yang Palm had eight forms, and his current strength only allowed him to Cultivate to the first form.
Luo Bai tried to circulate the Pure Yang Palm's Mind-Cultivation Technique. He could feel the Yin Yang Two Qi in his body gradually transforming into the most pure Yang and rigid power, continuously gathering towards his palm under the circulation of the Pure Yang Palm's Mind-Cultivation Technique.
Luo Bai dared not test the power of the Pure Yang Palm inside the Family treasury. He had a feeling that if he struck this palm, the walls of the Family treasury would surely be penetrated.
Luo Bai left the Family treasury and found Luo Tian, telling him that he would be going out for a period of experience.
Luo Tian told Luo Bai to be careful and then let him leave.
........
Bihai City, Murong family Mansion.
Outside Murong Xue's boudoir, Murong Xue's eyes widened, looking at the person in front of her in shock: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Young Miss, every word your subordinate says is true."
"Understood. Investigate further!" Murong Xue responded simply.
The Murong family's scout turned and left.
In the courtyard, Murong Xue's face was gloomy: "That trash actually didn't die."
From behind the rockery in the courtyard walked out a man in white robes, Li Jingrong. He was the illegitimate son of Bilian Fairy. He was at the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Realm and only needed an opportunity to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had also opened up eight meridians in his body. Although he couldn't be considered a Genius, he was only a step away.
Murong Xue had extraordinary talent and had opened up eight meridians at a young age. Bilian Fairy, seeing Murong Xue's talent, wanted to facilitate a relationship between Murong Xue and her illegitimate son, so she had Li Jingrong stay by Murong Xue's side to Cultivate their feelings.
In the future, Murong Xue would surely become a major power. Bilian Fairy wanted Li Jingrong and Murong Xue to become Dao Companions. Once Murong Xue grew up, both she and her son would gain immense benefits.
"Xue'er, this is easy. Let him die again. What's so difficult about that?" Li Jingrong said disdainfully, then added, "Just send a few people to kill him."
Li Jingrong was a little puzzled in his heart. With his strength, that trash should have been killed by one palm, so why didn't he die?
